I don't know a thing about him, other than he's got rent to pay, and he thinks Red Dagger seems like a swell guy. Oh, and he not only knows where to find a satellite, but was able to steal it, and probably has someone in mind to sell it to. And he's strong enough to carry it. Even without fuel, that thing has to weigh at least a few hundred pounds.
That's a villain I want to see more of. How he'd get so strong? Radiation, mutation, works out a lot? Maybe if he spent less time at the gym he could pay his rent. Where'd he steal that from, and where was he gonna take it? The Jersey branch of AIM? Some eccentric space enthusiast? Does he steal TVs and purses, too, or does he specialize in weird crap? You hire the Black Cat or Gambit if you want some jewel or painting, but if you want a pair of Enos Slaughter's cleats from the 1946 World Series, you call this guy.
I know he's a throwaway villain, just something to show the everyday weirdness of the Marvel Universe, and give Kamala an excuse to run into Red Dagger and have FEELINGS, but I dig characters like this, or that group of Canadian ninjas she had to deal with during Civil War II. He doesn't seem like world-conqueror or sadist, which is always a plus in my book. Just a dude trying to pay the bills, stealing stuff that might be worth something to someone.
